Could you build this?
Partial The workflow orchestration (an AI agent reaching an escalation trigger and posting to a human review queue) is straightforward to vibe code. The actual bottleneck is the operational two-sided marketplace infrastructure: sub-30-second human routing, real-time presence/availability, and continuous expert vetting.
What it would actually take: The platform requires a real-time dispatch backend (WebSockets/WebRTC via Go or Elixir/Phoenix) with an intelligent queue management and push-notification system to page on-call experts instantly. The system must package the agent's context, historical memory, and exact failure state into a concise interface for instantaneous human comprehension and decision takeover. Making this work at scale requires high-concurrency real-time engineering alongside heavy marketplace operations and SLA management.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
